We wrote notice last week of recent
call from Prof Holtzclaw. but somehow it
got mislaid and failed to get IN type. He
has left DuPre and taken charge of the
Martindale public school. Prof. Fl. is
live, progressive educator, and if his pa
irons will give him their united co-opera-

A call from that old Democratic veteran,
Maj. Donaldson, last week, reminded us that
we failed to note an honorable and charac-
.eristic incident in his recent history, and
hat is that, by his special request, he cast
he first vote for prohibition at this poll at
the last election. The Major is over 80
years of age, but is able to get about with
comfort, and his mind continues bright and
active. We hope his life may be rounded
20 a century or more, for this country can
IL afford to lose men of his stamp. We
lave ever found in him friend tried and
rue, faithful among the faithless, with
oul superior to narrow sectional feeling and
is too frequent attendant bitter and malig-
mt prejudice.
